Things You Will Need

  • Laundry detergent
  • White vinegar
  • Cleaning rag

This can be done with a mild cleaning routine that incorporates cleaning with disinfecting, and keeps your wrist brace looking brand new.

  1. Combine 2 cups of warm water, 1/2 tsp. of mild laundry detergent and 1 tbsp. of white vinegar in a bowl.

  2. Swish the cleaning solution with clean fingers to mix the ingredients.

  3. Dip the wrist brace into the cleaning solution. Rub the soapy liquid over the wrist brace with a cleaning rag or your fingertips to work the cleaner into and over the entire brace. The detergent removes body oils and similar buildup, while the vinegar naturally kills bacteria.

  4. Rinse the brace with warm water after cleaning, and squeeze out as much excess fluid as possible.

  5. Sit the wrist brace on a flat surface to air dry.
